Sergio Rossi's Sweet Shoes

— July 17, 2008 — Luxury
An Italian with a shoe fetish can be two things: in jail or in fashion. Luckily for women (and men) Sergio Rossi decided to become one of Italy's leading fashion footwear designers. The representation shown in the gallery is just a sample of the wonderfully imaginative shoes that come from his fertile mind.

Rossi worked for his father in Romania, then moved to Milan to collaborate with Gianni Versace and Dolce & Gabanna. Sergio Rossi now has 41 stores internationally.
